[SatNews] Space and cyberspace intersect at the Space Foundation's Cyber 1.4 conference on Monday, May 19, at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA—the conference provides a forum for cyber professionals and those new to the field to meet and discuss crucial issues affecting the global cyber domain.
Cyber 1.4 focuses on senior leadership views on Department of Defense and industry cyber activities, with emphasis on hot button issues, human capital development, international dimensions and the evolving challenges posed by cyberspace. Cyber issues and threats impact us daily, including our ability to operate in and from space. The cyber domain is unlike any venue or theater of operation in the history of war or commerce. It is ever-changing, providing dangers and opportunities that will shape our future. The full-day Cyber 1.4 conference takes place immediately before the official opening of the 30th Space Symposium.
